Ok so. I washed my car. And the heating doesnt work anymore. Checked the fuse to find this



I replaced the fuse. And still no luck. Any ideas?

Maybe my english reading is not that good but as far as i know heating is not electrical but water based.
Most of the time the cables come off behind the heaterpanel.

Edit: the fuse in question is for the rear window heater, do you mean thats not working?

if I'm not mistaken that's a blown fuse #10 for the rear windshield heating...

oeps sorry J, i did edit my post with the same info. Had not seen yours

Im sorry lads. I should have been clearer. The heater blower has stopped working. And the fuse in the middle thats blown says heater blower or something like that. I think my best bet is just to replace all fuses as a fresh start. But its soooo cold

You have to clean all the terminals with sand paper.

Its not cold if you wear 4 layers and three pairs of socks and some gloves lol.

Tbh I think you may want to check the heater fan itself.

I've never seen a fuse blow like that...

Ah damn. Im gona clean the terminals first to see if that does the trick. If not then ill have to some how full the fan out. Is it long procedur to take it out? Havent looked yet and think ill get an answer on here quicker

The fan can be reached easily under the black cover for the wiper mechanism. If the fuse blows big time like that it may have seen a lot of water or have seized. If it was squeeky before it will defo like some WD40. Better remove first for a good check then!

Yea it was squeaking like like a m***** f*****. Ha. I think water must have gone through. Black cover in the engine bay right? Sorry. Still trying to figure this cars layout.

Yep, cover of the wiper mechanism on the firewall, hard to miss I'd say

Haha. Yea. Well i may be able to kill two birds and all that because that cover needs sanding priming and repainting. Cheers mate.

If you want to come down to Kingston I'd be happy to take a look. Give me a call in the morning.

All sorted. Attacked the blower with wd40 and cleaned it up and now works a treat. Thanks guys.
